Parubiy Head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine City of Kyiv 1 March 2018 No 2310-VIII A/72/798 S/2018/232 18-04732 3/6 Attachment Address of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to the international community in regard of organization of illegal elections of the President of the Russian Federation at the temporary occupied territories of Ukraine — the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol On 20 February 2014, the Russian Federation launched a number of aggressive actions against Ukraine that within a week amounted to direct military invasion and temporary occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevas- topol, that are integral parts of the sovereign territory of Ukraine within its interna- tionally recognized borders. (...) Organization of so-called “elections” of the President of the Russian Federation at the occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol is yet another effort to legitimize an attempt to illegal annexation. (...) Utilize all possible means to prevent the government of the Russian Fed- eration and the occupation authority from holding elections at the temporary occupied territories of Ukraine — the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevas- topol. 2. Should elections at the temporary occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol held, condemn it, withhold from dis- patching monitors to the region in both national and international groups, and outline the fact of illegitimate voting at the temporary occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol that substantially distorts the overall outcome of the elections within the Russian Federation in reports of the monitoring missions, including those dispatched under the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE mandate. 3.
